| Summary: | Human activity is causing a long-term shift in the earth's climatic system which is referred
as climate change. Nowadays, climate change is brought on by a number of reasons,
including air pollution, population growth and industrialization all of which capable in
degrade the earth's atmosphere and alter the makeup of the atmosphere. Energy efficiency
is the energy sector's most powerful climate change weapon, giving it a powerful
instrument for lowering greenhouse gas emissions. More than a quarter of greenhouse gas
emissions in Malaysia are attributed to building energy use. Malaysia's growth has
resulted in the expansion and development of higher education institutions to serve the
increasing number of international as well as local students. As a result, the growth of
higher education institutions has shifted to the detrimental impact of climate change on
energy consumption. Therefore, the aims of this study are to conduct energy analysis for
demanding purposes within UNIMAS colleges, investigate the energy utilization in
UNIMAS colleges and suggest the corrective measures for energy efficiency
improvement using Green Building Index (GBI). The significance of this study is to
ensure that the UNIMAS residential colleges understand the importance and benefits of
energy efficiency in buildings, develop a broad sense of awareness and understanding of
energy conservation among students and the university's committee, and improve
building energy efficiency and potential savings. Additionally, this research briefly
discussed the methodology used for conducting energy analysis on demanding purposes
and design the corrective measures for energy efficiency improvement for UNIMAS
colleges. The parameters involved such as the power consumption, number of students
and staffs, hours of electricity usage, floor area of the buildings as well as number of
demand purposes has been evaluated to determine the trend of energy analysis for the
three months. As a result, several graphs have been obtained and all the energy efficiency
improvement in terms of GBI and other energy saving strategies have been prescribed. |
